Seller's description

For Sale: 1979 Music Man Stingray Bass – Black w/ OHSC Up for sale is a 1979 Music Man Stingray Bass in Black, complete with its original hard-shell case. This is a very cool and increasingly hard-to-find pre-Ernie Ball Stingray from the early years of Music Man production. These late-’70s examples are especially desirable for their vintage humbucker, 3-bolt neck plate, slab body, and 2-band active EQ with black epoxy-covered preamp. The pots date to 1978 and the neck is stamped 1979, confirming this as a 1979 Music Man Stingray. If you are looking for an early Stingray with the classic look, feel, and tone that made these basses famous, this is a great one. Condition This bass is in very good condition and I would rate it a solid 7.5/10. It shows scratches, dings, some areas faded from stickers that were previously on the bass, and finish checking throughout, all consistent with age and normal use. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition. Everything on the bass appears to be original. The foam mutes at the bridge are missing, which is very common on these. There are no cracks, breaks, or structural issues. The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent condition with no wear, and the bass plays smoothly and cleanly up and down the board with no issues. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go. The original hard-shell case is included and is in very good condition for its age, with the usual wear and some writing on it.
